Pots

The pots are all weird and squashed-looking. Little melted-looking handles that will probably drop off the first time someone lifts them. Weird dents and little bits where you can still see fingerprints. Bobby Gibbs shows me his one, and he says that I can have it if I want it because his parents already have one, but I don't want it. It's ugly and I tell him so, and he laughs. It is ugly. It's shaped like a fish. Like he made a pot then squeezed it in the middle until it was a stupid, useless shape. I tell him it's ugly again, and we both laugh this time.
